By bringing together a diverse range of innovators, tech enthusiasts, investors, and industry leaders for an evening of networking and game-changing solutions, the Innovation Mixer, which aims to close the gap between startups and established companies, will give stakeholders from all over the tech ecosystem a place to work together, exchange ideas, and create partnerships.
Adaobi Okerekeocha, Chief Innovation Officer at Interswitch, emphasised the event’s importance by pointing out that collaboration is still essential to fostering innovation in Africa’s tech sector. She was upbeat about the mixer’s capacity to have a long-lasting effect, stating: “We at Interswitch think that the foundation of innovation is teamwork. Platforms like these are necessary to open up new opportunities as the digital and innovation landscape in Nigeria and around Africa continues to change, revealing vast and unrealised potential.
A crucial first step in creating a thriving community where startups and well-established corporations may share ideas, investigate opportunities, and create synergies that lead to significant solutions is the Startup Mixer. Akeem Hassan, Technical Advisor to the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Lagos State Government, will conduct the panel discussion during the event.
Managing Director Ireayo Oladunjoye of Endeavour Nigeria, Digital Sales Manager Linda Ochugbua of BusinessDay, and Pepcode Founder Olapeju Nwanganga are among the panellists. Together, they will examine the issue and look at doable strategies to improve cooperation between startups and well-established corporations. Participants can anticipate a well planned event with thought-provoking conversations and unmatched networking possibilities.
The mixer will highlight innovative concepts, motivational success stories, and game-changing collaborations that are influencing Nigeria’s tech environment going forward and spurring innovation throughout Africa. By organising this event, Interswitch demonstrates its steadfast dedication to promoting innovation and collaborations that propel expansion both inside and outside of Nigeria’s ICT sector.
